Milk and Honey by Rupi Kaur
4.0

 This poetry/story collection examines the generational acceptance of sexually abusing young girls and women and the impact it has one them. 

The author dares step outside of cultural/social expectation of women and demands body autonomy. 

This was a heavy read. It hurt my heart but also made me smile. Statically 1 in 5 women will be sexually assaulted/raped in their lifetime. 

That number fluctuates with race, class, religion, and region. The author is South Asian, and she address her demographic as well as Femicide. 

I found this collection to be educational and empowering.  I would Highly Recommend WITH Trigger Warnings.
